Fine Art Collector | Spring 2022

Pascale Taurua

Living and working in Paris for the last 18 years as a professional artist, it’s clear Pascale Taurua lives and breathes the very essence of Parisian elegance when it comes to her paintings. Talking about her ever-evolving style, Pascale comments: “My art is figurative, but it is influenced by so many different styles. I love the raw emotion of street art, which in Paris is transforming areas like the Canal Saint-Denis, Oberkampf district and Vitry- sur-Seine. Urban artists such as Kashink – one of the few French female graffiti artists – are creating a new aesthetic that is revolutionising the public perception of street art. They’re expressing emotions, making statements on important political and societal issues, or simply encouraging us to live in the moment and appreciate art on an instinctive level.”. Her use of bold contemporary colours and figurative poses represent the modern woman, challenging gender stereotypes by using clothing and accessories as a symbol of strength and sensuality. She makes contrasts between strong silhouettes and powerful poses, each one a story that the viewer can unfold.

Pascale explains: “For me, fashion is just as much of an art form as a painting or sculpture. An haute couture designer has a vision that highly-skilled craftspeople – les petites mains – must execute. When I am creating my artworks, I have my own idea – whether that’s the way a fabric falls, or how it accentuates the curves of the female form. It is in my studio that I bring this to life; not through a needle and thread, but with my paintbrush.” Specialising in oil on canvas original artworks, Pascale’s paintings have become so popular they almost never stay on a gallery wall for long. Her artworks are the perfect addition to any space looking for that statement stand-out piece, as Pascale notes: “Our interiors can become tired and functional over the years, and this doesn’t always reflect our personality. Art is such a fantastic way to show who we really are: we are strong, creative, kind, curious, loving and determined. We can’t express everything about ourselves, but we can offer a glimpse of that little bit of madness that makes us unique.”
